楊博堯 YANG Bo-Yao

Born in 1981, Yang Bo-Yao uses figurative creation methods to transform himself into an objective object to connect with the outside world. Concealing his self-image within a "giant man made of Legos", Yang takes an objective perspective to examine the nature of the connection between self and its social environment while at the same time reflecting on self-perception as well as the value of self-existence. By playing multiple different roles, Yang leads audiences to engage in scene after scene of surreal theatre that are somehow strange, provocative and yet amusing, all at the same time. Such familiar yet illogical scenes not only trigger curiosity and skepticism within the audience, but also spur viewers to re-think the relationship between self and society along with the cultural phenomena and social significance behind how we behave in our everyday lives.
